(2) Nice Old Mellins Food Fold Up Trade Cards Pair of nice Old Mellin's Food Fold Up or Stand Up Trade Cards. Both cards are identical.

At the base of the Card there is two flaps, one on each side that can be folded so the Card can stand up. These cards were never used. They measure 5 3/8" in height and at the base say Compliments of Mellin's Food, "Our Baby" Back of the Card gives a run down on why your baby should have Mellin's Food.
